Effective Listening




As leaders, we often listen so we can fix problems.

Effective listening has leverage and creates better business outcomes. Listening enhances judgement and supports diverse views to deliver business objectives and drive performance.

Listening allows us to gain valuable insights and inhabit othersโ€™ perspectives. It helps us to understand needs and concerns and ultimately make better decisions.

Leaders can create a culture of listening within organisations by encouraging teams to speak up and share their ideas and by taking the time to truly listen to what others are saying.

By developing our listening skills, we can become better leaders, make better decisions, and ultimately drive more higher performance.

Resilient Teams




Top Things Resilient Teams Do:

  • Believe they can effectively complete tasks together
  • Share a common mental model of team work
  • Able to improvise
  • Trust one another and feel safe

I am currently working with several leadership teams and discovering some themes in common in teams that persevere and thrive in tough times:

  • The individual team members find the time and the courage critically required to lift each other around a common goal.
  • There is a deep generosity required for them to listen and learn from each other

We have worked out the hard way how global and connected we really are, challenged by the disconnection of social distancing.

We are now all global leaders, as no one is left untouched by the global pandemic impacts.

There is an ongoing challenge for leaders in community, government, families and organisations to continue growing and learning while preserving and protecting our individual needs.

We need to learn, do and be different – collectively and individually โ€“ to lead our way above this adaptive challenge.
